It is very important for those who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine to contact their doctor to make an appointment. Although people born before 1970 may have some degree of immunity, it is important to ensure protection, especially in young children and women of childbearing age. The MMR vaccine is not given during pregnancy, so it is very important for pregnant women to rely on antibodies inherited from their mother to protect their babies until they are old enough to get vaccinated.

Measles is characterized by symptoms such as high fever, blocked or runny nose, sneezing and coughing, and small white spots in the mouth. These symptoms usually last several days. The National Health Service (NHS) emphasizes the importance of vaccination as the most effective method of preventing measles and its potentially serious consequences.
